Gu Qianhan frowned. He really didn't like hearing Xiao Qingyuan say "my Crown Prince's Consort".

He remembered that Xiao Qingyuan never called Shen Wantang like this before. He always called her by her name. Why is she calling her my Crown Prince's Consort now?

Xiao Qingyuan probably really started to care about Shen Wantang.

For a moment, Gu Qianhan didn't know whether to be happy or angry. This was exactly the result he wanted. He wanted Shen Wantang to live a happy and relaxed life and have a happy married life.

But when he really heard Xiao Qingyuan being intimate with her, he felt like a huge stone was stuffed into his heart and was extremely uncomfortable.

He was upset, so Xiao Qingyuan was happy: "Gu Qianhan, why do you look so bad? Are you disappointed that you failed to alienate him?"

Gu Qianhan looked at him coldly: "Why are you so proud? If you didn't succeed in alienating us this time, you will succeed next time."

"Don't worry, no matter how you try to sow discord between us, I will always believe in my Crown Prince's Consort. I will never fall for your tricks!"

Gu Qianhan looked over his shoulder at Hua Yi behind him and said indifferently, "I didn't see how much you trust your Crown Prince's Consort, but I can see that you trust this maid very much. You brought her with you when you went to Fazhen Temple last time, and you brought her with you when you came to see General Huo's triumphant return this time. Others brought their wives with them, but you brought a maid with you. Do you like her so much?"

The happy expression on Xiao Qingyuan's face quickly disappeared: "Don't talk nonsense, why do I like her? What's wrong with me bringing a maid? I also brought a servant. I am the prince of Ning Wang. It's normal for me to bring a maid and a servant when I go out."

"How is that normal? What grown man would bring a maid with him when he goes out? Even Yuan Zheng, who loves women so much, only brings a servant with him when he goes out, and never brings a maid."

Gu Qianhan's tone revealed a feeling of disdain for him: "Only girls bring maids with them when they go out. Are you a girl?"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale: "You are the girl, your whole family are girls!"

After scolding Gu Qianhan, he immediately left with Mo Ji and Hua Yi. If he continued talking, he was afraid that Gu Qianhan would anger him to death.

Huayi followed Xiao Qingyuan, and after walking a few steps away, she couldn't help but look back at Gu Qianhan.

In the crowded crowd, he was wearing a dark green brocade robe embroidered with gold thread. He had an upright figure and a cold temperament. His face was angular and he was obviously handsome, but he gave people a sense of being unapproachable and distant.

He raised his head slightly and looked towards a certain place on the upper floor of Zuixian Tower, not knowing what he was looking at.

At this moment, he was out of tune with the crowded and lively atmosphere around him. He stood out from the crowd, detached from the mundane world.

Huayi didn't understand why such a noble man with such a cold personality would set his eyes on her?

Every time she went out with Xiao Qingyuan, whenever she met Gu Qianhan, she would be ridiculed by him, so much so that Xiao Qingyuan now has to think for a long time before taking her out.

Did she ever offend Gu Qianhan? No, she never had the chance to meet Gu Qianhan before.

Is it really because Gu Qianhan wanted to take revenge on Xiao Qingyuan, so he indiscriminately attacked any woman who appeared around Xiao Qingyuan?

Why did she always feel like something was wrong?

As Xiao Qingyuan was walking, he suddenly turned around. He originally wanted to see if Gu Qianhan had followed him and continued to pick trouble, but unexpectedly, he saw Hua Yi staring at Gu Qianhan intently.

An indescribable anger suddenly surged up from the bottom of my heart.

He asked Huayi coldly: "Why, do you also think Gu Qianhan is better than me? Do you want to change your master?"

Huayi's heart trembled. He used the word "also", obviously he was still concerned about the fact that Chu Yanluo ran away with Gu Qianhan. She couldn't follow in Chu Yanluo's footsteps!

She quickly said, "No, I only want to follow the prince, and I have never thought of following anyone else. The Second Master Gu is far inferior to the prince. I just thought he was always targeting the prince, which was too weird."

Xiao Qingyuan's expression improved a little: "It's no wonder that he's targeting me. I ruined his reputation, his marriage, and even almost ruined his sister's marriage. It would be strange if he didn't target me."

Huayi lowered her head and said, "Your Highness is right. I was overthinking."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her, then at Gu Qianhan not far away, and felt annoyed.

"I should have known not to bring you out. I wanted to take you to see the army's triumphant return and let you see the world, but I didn't expect to meet Gu Qianhan again. He has set his sights on you. If you don't want to be deceived by him, don't be like Yan Luo and blindly trust him and fall into his trap!"

"Yes, I remember this. I only trust the prince. I don't trust anyone else. Apart from the prince, I won't follow anyone else."

"That's good."

The anger in Xiao Qingyuan's heart gradually subsided, but he had already made up his mind that he would never take Huayi out again.

She was just a maid, not the mistress of the house, so there was no need for her to gain any knowledge. If he took her out and she was really deceived by Gu Qianhan, he would be so embarrassed.

He had suffered enough loss at the hands of Chu Yanluo, and he couldn't afford to suffer loss again at the hands of Huayi.

Huayi was a maid, and was very good at observing people's words and expressions. She knew from Xiao Qingyuan's expression that he probably wouldn't take her out again.

A feeling of pent-up anger welled up in her heart. It was all Gu Qianhan's fault. As a result, the prince no longer wanted to be close to her.

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. She could only watch it all happen, completely powerless to change it. She didn't even dare to test what Xiao Qingyuan meant by his previous words about lifting her up, and she didn't dare to ask him to fulfill his promise.

Whenever this happened, she would sincerely envy Shen Wantang, the Crown Prince's Consort, because only she could gain Xiao Qingyuan's respect, and only she was qualified to take care of Xiao Qingyuan's affairs in his room.

Yesterday, even the princess was reprimanded by Xiao Qingyuan for causing trouble for Shen Wantang.

Everyone in the capital says that the Crown Prince's Consort is not liked by the Crown Prince. However, now that the Crown Prince has begun to protect her, how long can it take for him to like her?

Gu Qianhan was unaware of the undercurrents between Xiao Qingyuan and Hua Yi, nor did he care.

After Xiao Qingyuan left, he didn't look at Xiao Qingyuan again. He raised his head and looked towards the third floor of Zuixianlou, where the window was open. His sister and Shen Wantang were sitting together. They were talking about something happy. Shen Wantang smiled brightly, and her eyes and eyebrows revealed a relaxed and happy look.

I have known her for two lifetimes, and in fact, she was the type of person who did not show her emotions very much in both lifetimes. She rarely laughed as happily as she did now.

The bright sunshine sprinkled on her face, adding a layer of light golden glow to her whole body. This light went straight into people's hearts, making Gu Qianhan want to treasure this moment forever.

If you can't have her, it's also good to see her like this.
